Yeah, the show wasn't so great. We made back the table fee, so it wasn't a loss, and that's always good. But the profit was about non existent. Met a cool guy at the table next to us though. Sci Fi appears to not be for us, which is sad. I'm still trying to find another show. Nothing is on until FenCon it looks like, and FenCon is already sold out! Which irritates me, since I was invited to it at ConDFW, checked the page, it said "not accepting vendor applications yet" and I find out this weekend it's sold out. We might still be able to get into the art show, but they're not answering inquiries yet. Why are con people so SLOW?
Diana ended up with a new stalker, so I got to be bodyguard, and enlist a couple of other people to follow her around for a bit. Met Tony Todd, and that was coolness. Man is HUGE. My hands haven't felt that small since I was about six....
There was only us and one other jewelry vendor. Everyone else was purely comic books and toys, in the dealers room. I expected probably 90% toys, but there was almost NOTHING else. I found that odd.
I had some prints on the table I was selling for Felix. First day, her painted ladies were called "disgusting" and my bikinis "perverted". :O_o: All the guys loved the bikinis, most of the women were on a vendetta against them. I finally put them behind the table. A necklace walked off somewhere along the way. I was incredibly entertained by the guy who went stomping by with his nose in the air sniffing out "Chainmaillers?!?! wtf do they think THEY'RE doing here?!?!" and his friend who promptly replied with "dude shut up, you're just mad that their stuff is better than yours!" :lmao: So buddy, if you're reading this, seriously. Get a grip. I'm sorry I bilked you out of your possible table, but you didn't miss much. And be nice to your fellow maillers. Seriously. Business civility is always a plus.
It always amazes me at every show just how many people are rude to the vendor behind the table. They stop to look, I say a polite hello, and either get no look and no response whatsoever, or I get the glare of "you are a bug, don't talk to me unless I happen to deign to feign interest in one of your products". I mean, wow. The kids were nicer than the parents, in most cases. A 4 year old called Scorpion Bob "cute". That was a new one to me. Bob gives me the willies.
